with a few silver linings, while I would like to think I have the cutest kid around, he at his ripe old age of 1 has decided he no longer needs naps. Whats that you say, just put him down... oh believe me I did! And I am sure the neighbors called CPS 3 or 4 times today imploring them to come check out the situation at our place. He sleeps in our closet (we have a semi smallish one bedroom with a "sunroom" that was supposed to be his room, but with no doors, its impossible to put him down out in the middle of the hub bub) anywho, I put him down the first time, screamed for an hour, got him up bathed him, put him back down, screamed for about 30 minutes (now when I say screamed, I mean it, this kid is horse now) figured he was probably just really hungry got him up fed him lunch let him hang out a while, put him down again, screamed for another hour. Got him up and tried to clean (my vacuum broke and I just fixed it yesterday and boy do my floors need a good once or twice over) he was following me around yawning and whining, so I got him a warm bottle of milk sang him a song, cuddled him and then went to put him down, he was asleep or so I thought. Nope he was screaming 5 minutes into the nap, this time I am frustrated so I say he can cry, the poor kid screamed for an hour and a half before I went to get him. So he is up today, no nap, and all whines! YAY for me, on the funny side, he realized he could climb into his toy box, loves that, and secondly he learned that since I cleaned out the space between the window and the couch there is a secret passage way that he can just barely squeeze through, and then the diaper pail blocks him! Oh man, he was sure proud of himself though! He also has claimed a chair in our house, Karen & Kendell Roman got us this nifty little video rocker for our wedding, and Leland has claimed it as his own! He absolutely loves it! Thanks Karen and Kendell!

I'm sure CPS would have a few questions when they find a screaming one year old in a closet! ;) We're lucky that Hudson still naps, he's a tyrant on the days that he doesn't sleep!
I know you are frusterated but those are some adorable photos!
Oh and don't worry too much, when Ben was 9 months old his doctor told me that I needed to put him down to sleep and let him "cry it out". He literally cried for 2 hours while I cried downstairs on the couch. After a few nights of this I said "enough is enough" and we did things our way again for a few months and then he was the best sleeper ever!!! Kids have to be ready.
He is so dog gone cute! I hear ya on the nap thing. I sit there and tell myself if Brennon wasn't so cute, I'd have to beat him. Not really, but you catch my drift!
How funny! He definitely has a strong will. This will be blessing as he gets older. The last pic of him with a a graham cracker and his bottle in "his" chair just says it all! What a cutie!
